Soon we got out of the pool because it was cold. My hands felt like ice blocks.  I liked the race because it was fun and exciting.

Let's Flag It!

My Reflection

I have been learning about the New Zealand flag changing.  I found this interesting because it helped me learn more about it.  I think we should have a new flag because it looks too much like the Australian flag and it is too blue.

We have been learing to read loud using expression.We need to look at the punctuation to help use expression. I enjoyed this because it was actually really fun and I liked acting out the play.  My next step is to keep working on my fluency and remembering the names of the girls.

My Reflection:

I have been learning about explanation writing.I now know that explanation writing tells about how something works.  I found the quiz tricky because I didn't know the answers.  I need to go back and reread the information.  My next step is to write an explanation.

Kaitaki Art

This is my kaitiaki art.  I chose Tangaroa.  Tangaroa of God of the sea.  I wrote some words about Tangaroa using Cool text on the computer.  I enjoyed this activity.

Learning About Adjectives

I was learning to add adjectives to give my sentences more meaning.

I have to remember to use adjectives that make the picture clear for my reader.

I thought this activity was hard because it was hard to think of the words.

My best adjective was indinreingnes because those are my birds.

My next step is to use adjectives in my own stories to make them interesting.

Term 2 week 5

Last week the year 4's went to Te Tuhi for a trip.  We did a play for jeremy and the adults.  I was a bug and then we did a collage.  It was fun.  Last week bike skills were cancelled because it was raining I was sad.

Recognising and understanding prefixes

My reflection

I have been learning to recognise and understand prefixes. I know now that when a prefix like 'un' is added to the beginning of word ti changes the meaning. This can help me understand what  words mean.  This was new learning for me and I found it easy to understand. My next step is to learn different prefixes.

Autumn cinquain

We were learning how to write a cinquain poem.  We wrote poems to describe Autumn Leaves.  I liked writing ht poem because it was really interesting.  One part that was hard was writing it because I didn't really know which on to do first - to do it on the computer or on the book first.  I couldn't do it at the same time.  My favourite part of my poem is how I got it done and how I chose what to write.
